          Lovely build. Clean and crisp.

          Interesting and unusual looking subject too.

              Thank you.
              I think this was every bit as good a model as the Tamiya Swordfish. It really is a good build.

                Very nice Ian. The Walrus, definitely built for a purpose rather than looks, which means I like it even more.

                  I'm with the guys there too, Ian. A very nicely done kit and an even better paint job!!! Now tell the truth...When you finished it and took the pics, were you singing out loud, "Coo, Coo, Ca-choo"!!!???......

                  Prost

                    Function over form is often a winner.

                          Hi Joe you been off flying around again. been a while.
                          Thank you for the kind words. The rigging was not that bad... ran out of wire, trashed TWO pair of cutters... only had piano wire :/

                          Thanks Dave.
